Embark on a small-group Bogota food tour and uncover the complexity of Colombian cuisine. Indulge in 13+ tastings, including exotic fruits, lechona, tamale, and Colombian sweet desserts. Experience the local chicheria and play tejo, Colombia’s national pastime. Conclude with a coffee workshop to discover the world of Colombian coffee.
- Bogota - Our first stop is La Perseverancia Market, learning about exotic fruits with a food obsessed guide. Then we’ll dive into a truly local chicheria. For carnivores, there’s no happier place than the next hole-in-the-wall eatery, which does nothing more than lechona - stuffed suckling pig with crunchy, golden skin.
Your taste buds are going to thank us later, when you then savour the innovative twists of ajiaco soup. Continue winding through the streets of old town, and try buñuelos, a deep-fried doughnut-like pastry. We’ll next play a round of tejo, Colombian’s rather explosive national pastime, all washed down with a cold beer (or juice!). Then we’ll jump into one more seriously historic restaurant which has been serving hungry locals for 200+ years. Tuck into steamy leaf-wrapped tamale, with frothy hot chocolate. Sounds like an odd combo? It’s good. Trust us.
- Barrio La Candelaria - Over the course of the tour you’ll have a rich understanding of our food culture - with 13+ tastings, and the guidance of a local expert who is a bonified foodie!
Sign off with a coffee workshop to find out why this country roasts some of the finest beans in the world. The tour ends at Casa Magola cafe, along Carrerra 3. It’s a short walk from the Museo Botero and the Plaza de Bolívar in the popular La Candelaria district.
Your guide can help you find transport back to your hotel if you wish. The tour duration is approximately 3.5 to 4 hours depending on the pace of the group.
Special dietary restriction or food allergy? These local joints have signature menus that don’t always have alternatives but we’ll find alternatives where we can! We unfortunately cannot recommend the tour to severe allergies, as street food always has a risk of traces and cross-contamination.
Come take a bite into Colombia’s cuisine. Buen Provecho!
